A Public Private Partnership, or a P3, is a collaborative agreement between a public agency and a private sector entity that grants a private sector entity the privilege and responsibility of providing a public good, facility, or service that has traditionally been provided and managed by a public entity. The goal of a P3 is to provide benefits to the public through value-added private sector engagement. In the case of Mohave County Parks – an exclusively enterprise funded organization deriving its revenue from park user fees – there remains sensational opportunity to develop and operate recreational, park, and adventure-based facilities and related services. P3 affords an approach where the public and private sector can share skills, assets, resources, risks, and rewards in bettering and popularizing the Mohave County Parks recreational experience. Mohave County Parks (the County) hopes to cast a wide net and encourage the submission of interesting and innovative concepts and ideas that will support its regional parks – Hualapai Mountain Park and Davis Camp – toward greater self-sustainability and establish these jewel locations in the Hualapai Mountains and on the shores of the Colorado River as the very best in Arizona.
